"Caroubel, Nicolas Francisque
(b Paris, 20 Aug 1594; d ?Paris, after 1657). French violinist, son of Pierre Francisque Caroubel. He began his career as a freelance performer; described as a ‘maistre joueur d’instruments’, he formed an association with another instrumentalist, Nœl Mosnis, in January 1613. In February 1623 he married Jacqueline Pinguet. At the end of 1624 he obtained (through his mother’s intervention) his father’s former post as violon ordinaire de la chambre du roi, becoming in April 1625 the 24th member of the king’s band of 23 violins. He was still in the service of Louis XIII in December 1642 when he and 12 others of the king’s band formed an association to give ‘royal concerts’every Saturday afternoon at the Louvre, the Petit Bourbon or other suitable hall. In 1631 he became one of the governors of the guild of St Julien des ménétriers, which organized the freelance instrumentalists of Paris. This did not affect his advancement at court, for in 1653 he was remunerated as a valet de chambre. It appears he was still in this post in 1657."
